Project Overview

For the edition, Corrosion uses the lsp4e project to integrate with the Rust Language Server and TM4E project to provide syntax highlighting in order to provide a rich Rust editor in the Eclipse IDE.

Initialization, import and export of projects and execution are provided by integration with cargo command.

Debugging is provided by integration with rust-gdb.

Corrosion was formerly called RedOx, but required a name change due to naming overlap with another project (See issue #24)
